Steam is gone now

lame

can't wait to play this game and I'm ready to preorder but damn

 

[Simon-chan]

I'm starting to think GhostTrick needs to be banned in order for this game to be released on Steam.
There is no other way. Sorry, man.

 

[AESplusF]

It's not. It happened with FFX/X-2 HD, but only because the port was complete months before Sony's 12-month exclusivity period expired.

Ok well it's not really standard protocol then it's just contract fufillment.

 

[duckroll]

Steam is gone now

El Lmao.

 

[MaLDo]

But the PC version of this is already announced? Don't know what the deal was with Diablo 3.

Because the agreement could be signed after the announcement.

 

[105.Will]

I was really expecting it to be delayed a month.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

What the fuck is going on? How are Square Enix fucking up their messaging here so badly?

 

[Nocturno999]

Video has been removed from SE's site.

Yeah, they are just trolling for publicity now. The Steam demo was announced, what more proof do we need?

 

[tsab]

Yup!

day/month/year -> commom used

year/month/day -> I think it's the ISO recomended format.

Is it because the japanese are read from right to left?

Spoiler

if yes then they still read it as DD/MM/YYYY

 

[Yohane]

😁😁😁

 

[Grief.exe]

I love the name of the new trailer.

😂😂😂😂😂

Soooo.... What's the date? I'd rather get this for PC over ps4 for obvious reasons but not sure I want to wait.

90+% chance of 3/10

 

[mrlion]

What the hell is going on here?

Please be nice to GhostTrick ;_;

Nier Automata Steam - Schrödinger's Release Date

ok the changed thread title just killed me :-D

 

[Wereroku]

Welp I was completely wrong this is totally a marketing deal but it's a really stupid idea to just ignore it's existence since they already announced the pc version was coming.

 

[GHG]

Sorry, but did you just miss everything we've just talked about? That trailer was pulled, the 10th, looks like a mistake, sadly.



If that's the case, that's definitely not a "Slight" delay.

I don't care, let me believe.

 

[Shadowhaxor]

I don't care, let me believe.

I want to believe as well. Hell, I think we all do ;(

 

[Sajko]

What the hell is going on here?

Middle is European trailer. That would be 03/10/2017 in US.

 

[Maintenance]

I would be pissed if I cared about this game, sucks for those that do.

At least they are not at Rockstar's level of bullshit, yet.

 

[Lulubop]

But Sony moneyhatted

Glad you cleared that up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

[Dubz]

So do we know anything about the Pro version. Will it be 1080 60?

 

[BriGuy]

90+% chance of 3/10

October 3rd, be there or be Square.

 

[GHG]

I'm inclined to wait just because of them fucking us around like this. Screw double dipping if they can't even be straight about a release date.

 

[tsab]

I love the name of the new trailer.

What if this version of the trailer is supposed to be uploaded to PSN Store?
I've seen special trailers in the PSN store that in the end that advertise release only Sony's platforms, which makes sense

 

[True Fire]

What the hell is going on here?

Ending D, you find out you've been playing on Steam all along

 

[SargerusBR]

GhostTrick right now

 

[McStickenstein]

Ending D, you find out you've been playing on Steam all along

Oh my god, what if this is actually an elaborate ARG? We have to solve the mystery to find the true release date!

lol reaching a bit with naming.

 

[Frostman]

Right, because of Sony's 12-month exclusivity period on the game.

Lol, I'm so confused with Squeenix I don't know whether the comments are serious in this thread or just satire at this point.

I wonder whether this has been a ruse all along just to drum up interest

Spoiler

/s

 

[DKL]

I'm not sure at this point how the story of the game will stand up to the story of Square Enix's handling of the PC release date.

 

[JaseC]

I wasn't talking about Nier. FFX/X-2 HD released on Steam 12 months to the day after the release of the PS4 version and the app hadn't been modified since August the year before. That paints a very clear picture.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

I must say good on GhostTrick being a good sport in all of this fuckery.

 

[fantomena]

What's all this discuss about Ghosttrick?

 

[Setsuna]

Im convincing myself this game is never coming to PC until a few hour after it launches. IF it ever launches

I just went from 0 to hype to 0 in less than an hour

 

[Begaria]

Ending D, you find out you've been playing on Steam all along

And once completed, the game uninstalls, deletes itself from your Steam account, and you forget all memory of it and can only see the PS4 version.

Which would explain why Square Enix doesn't remember the Steam version.

 

[Robobandit]

What's all this discuss about Ghosttrick?

He made a ban bet w/ Duckroll that the PC version wouldn't come out more than a month later than the PS4 version or something like that.

 

[protomouse]

Square Enix seem to not understand that when daddy Sony gives them money, they should be obedient.

They aren't exactly known for running a tight ship. It may very well be a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.

 

[Frostman]

I wasn't talking about Nier.

Ehh yeah...

Spoiler

my bad

FFX/X-2 HD released on Steam 12 months to the day after the release of the PS4 version and the app hadn't been modified since August the year before. That paints a very clear picture.

I wasn't trying to argue a point regarding FFX/X-2 HD, I was skimming the pages and assumed your post was about Nier. I understand the FF situation, I'm just not convinced with Nier because we don't really know when work on the PC port started. When they first announced it I assumed it would miss release, it turns out it probably won't (fingers crossed).

I will admit the blurred messaging is irritating and confusing. I admit if they had a date we would know, but I'm keeping my mind open because we have no other evidence suggesting otherwise.

 

[Alrus]

Apparently Sony and square are in serious discussions as to how long they can hide the already announced pc version and if they can delay the pc version 3 or 6 months or even indefinitely. Money hat was on its way to square but it got held up and everything is in flux!!!! Omg square doesn't know what to do? There is a tug of war going on

So outside of being a smart-ass, what would be the reason for all this pointless fuckery with the PC version if not for a marketing deal?

If not for the marketing deal? It's the marketing deal.

 

[ChazGW7]

This is stupid.

Please make a statement SE so I know whether I am going to get it for PS4 or not.

Squary pls.

I mean read the situation. The now defunct multi trailer didn't come out of thin air. The date wasn't chosen by a misterious entity.

We already know the date, the only thing left to know is how long is Sony's marketing deal, and we will know whenever that deleted trailer comes back online.

See, I want to see it that way. I really, really do, but I have been hurt before.

 

[sixteen-bit]

who wants to handicap the steam release date relative to ps4 release date?

3 months?

6?

1 year like FFX HD

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

YEEEEEAAAHHHHHHHH BOIIIII

The heck is wrong with me? Why did I stare at this as long as I did?

 

[Zemm]

Buying timed exclusivity and marketing is just hilarious.

It was just sad when MS did it with tomb raider and it's the same here with Sony.

Must not have much confidence in their hardware

 

[Shari]

See, I want to see it that way. I really, really do, but I have been hurt before.

When has this or anything close to this happened before with a date change after a trailer? Not sarcasm, I'm actually wondering.

There's also the extras like the FFX/X-2 remaster situation with yet another S-E leak. It's just that back then was a steamdb leak and now they leaked a damn trailer with a date, it's a whole new level of proof.

I bet Sony's not happy.
